《Jade Garmadon: Lloyd Garmadons little brother》Chapter 11 ~A Good Day
Advertisement
Jade slept in my bed with me last night. I don't blame him though. If a dagger was thrown at me and I was close to getting stabbed in the head, I would want to sleep in my older brothers bed as well.
Jade was curled up into the smallest ball ever, using my chest as a pillow. It was 4:39 am. I did get some sleep but I didn't rest for long. I wanted to stay awake so nothing would hurt my brother. I gently reached over Jade and picked up my phone. I saw that I had a text message from Cole.
'Who is after Jade?? It's been messing with me all night. I want to know who it is so I can beat them up!'
I smiled a bit. Cole was always like the oldest brother of the group that would knock someone unconscious if they messed with one of us. I texted back.
'Idk. I have a note that says that I won't be able to protect Jade forever and that this person wants Jade. It was signed by someone called, Mr. C'
'Lets find who this Mr. C person is and beat them up!!'
'We need more information before we hunt down and beat up Mr. C'
'Ugh fine! Get some sleep Greenie'
'Same goes to you. You need some sleep as well in order to best up someone'
'Lol sleep now, talk later'
I turned off my phone and placed it back on the nightstand. I saw Astrid curled up on the foot of my bed, and she was purring.
Just as I closed my eyes I heard whimpering. My eyes shot wide open and I looked down at Jade. He was still asleep, but tears were streaming down his face. A nightmare. I hugged Jade, trying to comfort him, but he kept crying. I gently nudged him.

"Wake up, buddy" I whispered. He didn't hear me.
"Jade wake up." I spoke louder. He cried more. Soon enough he was bawling. I gently shook him, trying to wake him up.
"Jade! Wake up!!"
Just then Jade shot up. He was hyperventilating as tears kept flowing down his cheeks. He cried harder and I hugged him.
"There there, Jade. It was only a nightmare."
"T-there was a-a b-b-bad m-man a-and you d-died and I...h-he...he t-took me!!" Jade cried
"Hey, relax, buddy. I'm right here. Nothing will hurt you or me, and I won't die. I promise." I rubbed his back as I hugged him.
"I don't want you to die.." Jade whimpered.
"I wont. I promise." I reassured him. I wiped away his tears.
After I got Jade to calm down, he couldn't fall back asleep so we both snuck downstairs into the living room. Jade looked at the movies while I went into the kitchen to make some pancakes.
I walked into the living room and handed Jade a plate with pancakes on it, and sat down next to him on the couch.
"What movie are we watching, Jaddie?" I asked with a smile. He smiled back.
"Treasure Planet!" Jade giggled as he shoved a fork full of pancakes into his mouth. I chuckled and pressed play on the remote.

I watched Jade as he kept trying to do spinjitzu in the training room. Each attempt, he would either fall, or run into a wall. With each fail, I saw frustration grow in his eyes.
"Ugh! I'm never going to do spinjitzu!!" Jade pounded his foot on the floor. The lights flickered and then the wood board from under Jades foot, flipped up and smacked Jades face. Jade yelled in frustration, shadowy orbs formed at his hands.

"Jade, calm down or else you'll loose control of your element." I reminded him. He took a deep breath and his magic dissappeard. "Good. Now try again."
Jade attempted to do spinjitzu again, and after a few more tries, he started spinning and a purple and black tornado sparked up around him. Jade skidded to a stop and he looked over his shoulder back at me. He had a huge smile and a prideful sparkly in his eyes.
"Did you see me?! I did it! I did it! I did it!!!" Jade cheered in delight as he ran to me. I picked him up and tossed him in the air, then caught him.
"I did see you. That was amazing! I'm so very proud of you, Jaddie!" I grinned.
"Victory ice cream and candy?" Jade looked at me hopefully.
"Victory ice cream and candy!!" I cheered as we ran to the kitchen.
For the rest of the day, Jade gloated to everyone on how he did spinjitzu and that I was proud of him. Nothing bad happened for the entire day, which made the day even better. Mom and I tucked Jade into bed at night then mom brushed my side bangs out of my face and told me goodnight then she left to go into her room. I pulled up one of Jades bean bag to the side of his bed, and I laid down on the bean bag. Just to make sure Jade would be safe during the night, I slept in the bean bag all night, hoping that nothing bad would happen to Jade. After an hour or so, I drifted off to sleep, praying that Jade will be safe.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
